Meet Charles Evans, a business owner dedicated to making a difference in his community. Once homeless himself, Charles turned his challenging experiences into a thriving business, Faith and Fortune Community Solutions, offering hope and housing to those in need. His journey from struggle to success is an inspiring tale of resilience and purpose.
Faith and Fortune Community Solutions specializes in “second chance housing,” a concept designed to help individuals who may not meet traditional housing criteria, such as credit or financial requirements. Charles has built a system that forgoes upfront deposits and application fees, ensuring accessibility for clients. With an impressive success rate of 8 to 9 out of 10 placements, the business has become a lifeline for many.
Charles’ personal story fuels his passion. Having faced homelessness as a teenager and young adult, he knows firsthand the barriers that can hinder finding stable housing. This experience inspired him to create a service that bridges the gap, providing dignity and security to those who often feel overlooked.
Since its inception, Faith and Fortune Community Solutions has experienced significant growth. While the demand for its services continues to increase, Charles recognizes the challenges of managing the workload independently. He aims to expand his team to sustain the business’s growth and impact more lives.
Charles and his team are focused on expanding their reach and improving service delivery. By fostering community partnerships and sharing his story, Charles hopes to inspire others to support or replicate his innovative housing model.
